I love 'em, too, Emily. "Early Morning Rain" and "Puff The Magic Dragon" also get the tears a' flowin' in my eyes. Oh, and "500 Miles." Try listening to that without breaking down:

While I was listening to that song I was thinking about my dad who died in 2007. I haven't cried like that in a while. I kinda needed to get those emotions out... very good for the soul.

also not a song, but this poem made me bawl my eyes out the other night and i wanted to share it:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Irvine · Aug 17, 2009

Don't speak- No Doubt
Cool
and again Anna Molly acoustic

I don't cry to these but get all emotion...ally.
